Recipe Review: French Dip Crescents
Taken off pinterest and adapted from the blog Mama Loves Food, here's the link:
http://www.mamalovesfood.com/2012/01/french-dip-crescents-with-easy-au-jus.html

What You Need:
-1 can crescent rolls
-1-2 Tbsp sauce (the recipe said to used horseradish. I hate horseraddish so we used garlic aloi mustard)
- 1/2 pound roast beef (we only made half a recipe, there are only 2 of us!)
- 2 slices colby jack cheese (we used what we had haha)

How to Make It
- Roll out the crescent rolls, lightly spread sauce on each and then layer on roast beef and cheese (I cut each slice of cheese into 4ths, to give me 8 pieces)
- Roll up each crescent starting with the thin side into the big end. Put on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes at 375.

Enjoy!

The Result:
 They were so easy to make, and had an awesome flavor. It wasn't my favorite combination, but Matt Loved them, so maybe it was just me :-)

ackage crescent rolls (8 total)

-1/2 lb thin sliced roast beef

-2 slices colby jack cheese

-2 T dijon mustard (because I don't like Horseradish sauce, you can use whatever sauce you prefer. We actually used Trader Joe's garlic aloi mustard)

I saw this recipe on Pinterest (my new obsession) last week, and wanted to make it so bad. We also had a groupon to the Meat House, so the stars aligned for it to become a reality :-) I didn't make the au jus sauce, because I wasn't feeling well last night, but it looks so good I will definetly make it next time I make this recipe!

I also cut the recipe in half, basically. The 2 slices of cheese I used added up to about 2 oz (a little under but I rounded up), and I only used about a half a pound of the roast beef. But that's just because there are only two of us. I may make this for a party in the future!

Directions:

• unroll crescent rolls, and dab a bit of mustard onto each piece of dough. Add 1-2 slices of roast beef and 1/4 of a slice of cheese to each.
• roll each crescent starting at the wide end.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes at 375. Mine were done around 11 minutes.

Enjoy! These were so easy, It took all of five minutes to prepare, and they cooked while I was eating my dinner. Love recipes like that!

The Result:

Good, not Great. I think the Au Jus would have made it a million times better, but they had a great flavor to them. they were a bit high in calorie for what you want (380 for 2), especially considering I was still hungry afterwards! Matt however loved them, and thought they were fantastic, so maybe it's just me :-)
